For many, it may be a feeling of thank goodness it's Friday. For most in the UK it's a Bank Holiday Weekend. I say for most because there will still be those who have to work over the weekend.
For those fortunate to have today 'free' hope you have a great day. You may be taking time to get the house ready for some weekend visitors. Perhaps you've some shopping planned ... a visit, or perhaps a pleasant walk, or some fishing!
If you are at work then maybe you can relate to this poem by Laura Hardstaff:
F is for Friday
F: is for Friday when all the fun begins,
R: is for Rest and a couple of sneaky gins!
I: is for Insatiable, our desire for this day never ends,
D: is for Dreaming about what fun the weekend sends,
A: is for Adventure and doing whatever one dares,
Y: is for You, no worries, work or cares.
Whatever you are doing this Friday - may I suggest a Friday dinner idea of a one stop fish dish !
One-pot fish with black olives & tomatoes
Ingredients:
Serves 4(7g carb per serving)
175g black olives in oil, stones removed
1 large onion, roughly chopped
400g can chopped tomatoes
4 boneless white fish fillets such as Icelandic cod or hoki, each weighing about 175g/6oz
To serve:
chopped parsley
lemon wedges
Method:
1. Preheat the oven to fan 180C/conventional 200C/gas 6. Heat 1 tbsp of the oil from the olives in an ovenproof pan. Tip in the onion and stir well, leave to cook for a minute or two and then give it another good stir. Add the tomatoes and some salt and pepper. Bring to the boil, then add the olives.
2. Put the fish, skin side down, onto the sauce and drizzle over a splash more oil from the olive jar. Bake, uncovered, for 15 minutes until the fish is cooked. Sprinkle with chopped parsley and serve straight from the pan, with lemon wedges for squeezing over.
... and perhaps a nice bottle of chilled white wine to go with this dish?
Have a lovely Friday and a happy weekend.
All the best Jan

Hello, Happy Friday to you! I love the image and pretty scene! And the one pot fish meal sounds delicious. Thanks for sharing the recipe. Have a great weekend!
I stopped working back in 2010 but I still get that Friday feeling, perhaps it's because I know the family are home on a weekend. Hope you have a lovely bank holiday weekend.
What a fun poem! And what a yummy recipe. Have a wonderful weekend.
Hello Eileen - we are fortunate to be able to enjoy park and lake walks quite nearby to us. This is not one of our images ... but it is so easy to put yourself in the picture, it has a calming effect I think?
This fish recipe is quite a favourite!
Have a lovely weekend
All the best Jan
Hi Jo ... I do think many of us do still get that 'Friday Feeling' and why not? There is a certain feel good factor to it I think !
Hope you have a lovely Bank Holiday weekend.
All the best Jan
Hello Martha - I did like that poem, there is such a variety around ... and they are good to read.
We do feature fish in our menu plans on a regular basis and this is a nice easy recipe idea to follow.
Happy Weekend Wishes
